Why does Arizona raise money for advocacy groups, like the Alliance Defending Freedom, with specialty license plates?
Vince Wade writes, “Why is the State of Arizona, through its customized license plate scheme, raising money for blatant political action groups? “In God We Trust” plates raise cash for the Alliance Defending Freedom, identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group for its anti-LGBTQ views. “Choose Life” license plates raise cash for the Arizona Life Coalition, an anti-abortion political action group. Why is Arizona raising money for one side of the nationally charged abortion debate? This program is ripe for abuse. The State of Arizona should not be in the business of sharing license plate fees with any advocacy group, no matter what its cause may be.” [efn_note]Arizona Republic, Vince Wade, January 14, 2024 – Arizona should not give these groups a penny of its license plate fees[/efn_note]
